Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What should I do if I am worried about the seismic resistance of my home?

- A: Check your home's flood risk on hazard maps, and perform routine maintenance like applying anti-shatter film to windows, inspecting your roof, and cleaning drains to prepare for wind and flood damage.
